The Ridge: A Hidden BBQ Gem in Nashville

Is one of the cutest acquainted little bars that I've ever been in we went upstairs service was phenomenal she was so sweet food was excellent I ordered the mac and cheese and it was like little kids mac and cheese so we just switched it out for me right away with no problem honestly I would go there again and again and again if I lived in Nashville

The night started great ~ food was very good, and we were excited about coming back again when the bill came. It was more than expected. Upon reviewing, I saw they charged an additional $2.50 more than we expected. I ordered the bbq spud with brisket, which, if you look at the menu, doesn't show any additional charge. Then my mom ordered the brisket sandwich, which came with one side. She chose french fries, which are usually the default side at most restaurants. The other $.50 was an upcharge because she selected french fries. When I questioned the waitress, she suddenly had an attitude and said, "I didn't make the menu" which was quite the copout. I asked for the manager and he didn't have better answers but said he would give us 10% off to offset those charges. The new bill came and it was higher than the first. Shows they added a dessert we never ordered and by then I couldn't get the waitress back to address it so I had to walk uo to the counter to get them to fix it. Even though they have greet food because of the attitude and the pricing issues we will not be back.

We’re from St. Louis and wanted to find a good barbecue spot. This was an amazing hidden gem. Since it was Mother’s Day, they offered either queso and chips or fried green tomatoes just for being a mama, our waitress was so sweet and the food was so so good. Next time we’re in Nash we will definitely be back.

Friendly staff and delicious food! Brisket was so perfect it didnt need sauce (but the sauce was magical, so of course use it!), fries and green beans were fantastic.

Great place to get good food without the tourist crowd. Service is mediocre, but it’s a barbecue place so that’s pretty standard. Still giving it a five star.

After reading the reviews I wanted to try it myself. It is an award winning eatery. The trophies are proof! I ordered a 2 meat platter and banana pudding for $32.00 (tax included!) I had two sides and bread. The ribs are tender and juicy, the fried Catfish was a nicely seasoned lightly battered delight. The cornbread patty was good and southern and both the string beans and turnip greens could be stand alone dishes. I highly recommend and would definitely choose The Ridge over other restaurants. PS. Thanks for taking this picture with me. I was honor to stand next to this Champion. S/o to Aletha for being a great server!

My bf and I ate at here on 7.6.25 and I am so happy that we didn't let the last review impact our decision. I ordered half chicken w/greens, Mexican corn and banana pudding. My bf had the catfish w/ green beans and homemade potato fries. The food was absolutely amazing and the waiteress was the sweetest ever. We will definitely be back again when in Nashville.
